Nydia Tisdale, left, consults with one of her attorneys, Bruce Harvey, at a hearing in Dawsonville in October 2016. Jury selection began Monday in her trial involving her arrest at a Republican Party function she tried to videotape.

Tisdale was videotaping a GOP rally in 2014 at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm when she was approached by Dawson County Sheriff’s Capt. Tony Wooten and asked to leave. When she did not immediately stop filming, Wooten grabbed Tisdale by the arms and escorted her out and arrested her for felony obstruction of an officer and two misdemeanors.
